Specific qualifying assault actions may also generate payments of:

or

40,000 UAH per day

according to the applicable official rules.

These payments are not automatic. The activity must meet the official criteria and be properly documented.

MAIN PRINCIPLE

Base pay is fixed. Additional compensation depends on the service actually performed and officially recorded.

FIRST PAYMENT

The first payment may take up to approximately two months to reach the service member’s account.

A newly incorporated service member must first be entered into the administrative and financial systems.

This includes:

unit registration · assigned position · military documentation · banking information · financial registration · payroll inclusion

If processing is completed after the payroll closing date, the payment may move to the following cycle.

THE MONEY IS NOT LOST

Amounts owed for service already performed remain recorded and are paid once the financial processing is completed.

HOW PAYROLL WORKS

The simplest way to understand the system is:

You work the month first, and payment for that period is processed afterward.

Example:

September — month worked

After the payroll period is closed:

October 10 — September base pay

October 25 — September bonuses and additional payments

10TH OF THE MONTH

Base pay

25TH OF THE MONTH

Bonuses and additional payments
